If Only

 If only you had the the wing

To fly away high and and sing

The melodious songs of sorrow

For tomorrow alys isn't on your brow

If only you had the power

To know all and be good lover

For love is eternal,  a strength

A guide that drives us through

If only you had the magic

To not use brain or apply logic

But life is magic in itself

So full of miracles, just believe

If only you could go back

And mend your past 

Forgive, forget and forgo

For you don't know what after hello

If only you could see the future

Avoid mishap, take pause and be sure

For future is bleak, yet so sure

Death finds us all - rich and poor

If only one could admit the fact

That we are all here for time being

For this is the path we all tread along

Alone we came and alone we shall go

Courage

When life pulls down yet you don’t give up

When life’s cruel and you don’t give shit

When love betrays to take  its toil 

But you fight back brave and not spoil 

When your boss is wrong and you give voice 

When the crowd scares and yet you face

When the doubts cloud your judgement

Yet you embrace until you are triumphant 

When the fire of rage inside goes savage

Yet you calms down with water of patience 

When the fear engulfs and you step back

Only to return stronger and composed 

Courage is not being rude or arrogant 

Courage is simplicity with persistence 

When is life fair anyway?

I was wandering and wondering along the woods

Suddenly My mind crosses through the days of childhood 

When each girls dreams one day of being princess

When her mom is the epitome of All she wishes 

And her dad the hero, the knight in shining armour

When each boy dreams of that charming prince 

When his mom portrays all qualities he would one day browse

When his dad is but a friend, a guide  by his side

When little siblings are but their goal 

And the reflection of their soul 

When every little hope is watered by all kinds of effort and bite 

And when all the tyrannies are overcame with triumph 

When finally a day comes to reckon 

When the princess meets his Prince Charming 

Life has cruel and disheartening plans 

The boat they boarded capsizes 

On their maiden journey through ups and down   

Through the rugged terrains of high and low 

Dreams shatters to nightmares and begins to haunt 

Hopes turn sour and belittles their hunt 

In anguish and agony they stare above 

And utters Why us, why us?

I wish you are here with me

I wish you are here with me

Because right now everything is alright

The stars and the moon is with me

A perfect moment of relief and comfort

The little flowers are dancing with me

In the shower of joy and happiness

I gaze around to see you but afar

It hurts me to know this fact

I miss you and I think about you

Don’t you miss me sometime?

The good times, bad, sad and silly

The moments that make us as one

Engraved in the veins of heart

These gives me reason to smile

Because you are always with me

Every beat of my heart is but a buzzer

That reminds me that I ain’t alone

This gives me hope and the strength

To strive and thrive in the worst ordeals

That your absence fetches forth

I wish you are here with me

Every little thing matters

As tiny as a pinhole,

As short as the morning dew

For life is but moments

Life is so partial you know

First a hell of courage to say Hello

Then it has us separated by miles

Does it not feel guilty?

Or even a pinch of pity?

I wish you are here with me

PLEASE ANSWER ME

Tell me it’s Ok

Or it is not

Now that we met in this life

And you have disturbed my mind

Please answer me

Tell me it’s OK

To be silent sometimes

No call, no SMS, no email

Silence is golden you know

Now that you know the value

Please answer me

The sun that rises from the east

Who doesn’t know it has heat?

The stream that flows down the vale

Who knows not it’s calm and quite?

Now that we know each other

Please answer me

A STUDENT TO HIS TEACHER

Try to be a human being not just a teaching machine

Do not touch only subject, but rather teach us students

Let me feel that you are interested in me as a human being not just a number in your note book

Do not judge me by the marks I get in my test, but rather by the effort I make

Do not expect me to think of school as the greatest pleasure in life

They are not at least for me

Do not expect me to prefer the subject you teach

Other subjects may be interested to me, and perhaps even more so, at least for me

Help me to learn, to think and to judge for myself, not just memorize readymade answers

Help me rather to find the answer myself, through this way may be more painful for both of us

Listen to the questions I may seriously ask, however foolish they may sound to you

If you listen, I might learn to listen to you

Be strict with me, provided you are just. I know that I need it; through outwardly I may rebel against it

Do not ridicule me, especially not before my classmate. It hurts, and I will turn against you

Earnest but kind words in private will be more effective

Do not pity me, especially in front of others, if I do not success so well

Pity can be so embarrassing

Do not point out another student as an example to me

I might hate him….and you….for it

And if I happen to do well, don’t point me as an example to others. It would embarrass me very much. But an occasional deserved word of acknowledgement is most welcome.

Keep your personal problem and political ideas to yourself

I cannot solve to judge them anyway

Remember that once upon a time you were a student yourself

Did you always get the best marks?

And did you never forget a thing?

Please, keep studying yourself; and do not mechanically use in the class the same yellowed notes which you wrote 20 years ago

Do not expect a word of thanks too often

I am grateful; I find is difficult to express my gratitude in words

And so…. Thank you ever so much!

Thank You Mother Earth

A home for every existence

A life of unlimited you nurture

Fresh air and water, clean ambience

The bound of kindness and patience

You give, sustain and give

And never are you fatigue

Nor you restrain, rest or refuse

Yet the greedy mind you gratify

Wants more, exploits and doesn’t care

Here I stand healthy and walk with pride

With all the luxurious glories of yours

We know you can’t permanently give

For this is the law you already know

Wisely we shall use you and your wealth

And advocate the message of early signs

Which you displayed loud and clear

Today, tomorrow or the next day

We shall revive, protect and sustain

Thank you Mother Earth.....

The Pledge

Karma is what we can’t change

And by it are we all shaped and made

Remember the first time we met?

Mere luck wasn't how we met

And neither was it a coincidence

Causal walk and talk we made

Heartfelt gossips we shared

Even the funny jokes we crack

Keeps me warm and glued

In fact small things are what matters

In the past, now and ever after

Love I shall with all my heart

Over the time I may fail

Void I shall never create yet

 Enlighten and remind me sometime

You are but a north star

Of all the stars that prevail

United and together we shall unfurl 

(The poem is to commemorate the world poetry day(21^st March), which I knew from blogger friends...:)...)

The enigmatic life

Is life ruled by silent hands of chance?

Or by powerful fist of choice?

Spare a little leisure to make a glance

That unbalanced ups and downs

Gain and success being ruled by failure

Special moments blurred and spoiled by regrets

well tendered plans pressed by pressure

And hearty heart hunted by hungry hurt

yet life is so lively with only lessons

Wounds are warranted to turn wisdom

While stumbling blocks are stepping stones

Only struggles bring strength and freedom

This is but a tapestry of life

As you life a day you live the life

The bitter betrayal

It was best of days we spent together

Environment was so serene, calm and clear

Birds did chirpined their melodies song

It was all fine and nothing wrong

Presence itself was so lively and enchanting

Words of our conversation was echoing

And the days and nights were so short

For she was aside with for any sort

But when all was said and done

She bid a big farewell and left me all alone

I wasn’t aware of my big blunder

Only when her kinds words turned thunder

Warm breathing into howling storm

And tears of joy an uncontrollable deluge

All the oaths was but of only lip

And the actions were but an act of creep

Yet even if blood dry and bones crumble

I will never forget that trouble
